            Inner Coach Wins

“You’re going to run 
in this slushy, wet snow.”
Aunt Phoebe (my inner judge)
always shows up, and her 
squeaky voice irritates me. 

Her high heels, red lipstick,
and mascara want no part 
of running today. She sits 
in her chair filing her nails.  
I hesitate—it is pretty crappy out.

I see my clothes laid out, sneakers
ready to explore. I got this!  
I will lace up my sneakers,
zip up my jacket and GO! 
She is NOT leading me today. 

I’ll run in the wet snow—
And pray she melts.
